Christina Quaile

Christina Quaile works under the supervision of Dr. Julia Ryan, supporting children, adolescents, adults, and parents who are navigating mental health and behavioral challenges, including helping families understand and feel supported through a new diagnosis. She also serves as a Group Service Facilitator and psychometrist, contributing to assessments by administering standardized measures and offering thoughtful, detailed observations. Christina specializes in autism, ADHD, and related emotional and behavioral difficulties.

Christina also provides intervention services, supporting families across home, school, and community settings, working closely with caregivers, school teams, and community-based professionals to create meaningful, practical strategies that fit real life. She values collaboration and connection, helping families and teams better understand a child or youth’s needs, reduce stress, and build consistency across environments. Her work often includes hands-on coaching with parents, collaborative problem-solving, and supporting teams through challenging moments with compassion and clarity.

Christina’s approach is relationship-based, flexible, and grounded in respect. She focuses on meeting individuals where they are and creating a non-judgmental space where children, youth, adults, parents, and families feel understood and supported. Her calm, low-demand style supports regulation and emotional safety, particularly for individuals who experience anxiety, avoidance, or difficulty engaging. In assessment settings, Christina is skilled at helping clients feel safe and regulated so they can meaningfully engage and show their strengths.
